When a string is divided into three segments of lengths \(l_1\), \(l_2\) and \(l_3\), the fundamental frequencies of these three segments are \(\nu_1\), \(\nu_2\) and \(\nu_3\) respectively. The original fundamental frequency (\(\nu\)) of the string is:

1. \(\sqrt{\nu} = \sqrt{\nu_1}+\sqrt{\nu_2}+\sqrt{\nu_3}\)
2. \(\nu = \nu_1+\nu_2+\nu_3\)
3. \(\dfrac{1}{\nu} =\dfrac{1}{\nu_1} +\dfrac{1}{\nu_2}+\dfrac{1}{\nu_3}\)
4. \(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\nu}} =\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\nu_1}} +\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\nu_2}}+\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\nu_3}}\)
